A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311

Zoe was ranting endlessly along the way home, and Cordy listened to everything calmly.

It was not as if she did not feel angry, but the priority now was to find a way to clear the charges against her.

Noel was right-this was a dog-eat-dog world, and her ability to resist was insignificant.

As they returned to Cordy's apartment, Zoe told her, "Go take a shower-I'll order takeout. You need to get your strength back.”

"Yeah," Cordy replied and returned to her room.

She looked at her own reflection in the mirror and found herself considerably haggard even though she had only been in there for 24 hours.

She took a deep breath and told herself that she must not lose to herself.

That she must not give up, not until the last moment.

After she was finished with her shower, she stepped out to find the entire dining table stacked with scrumptious food.

Zoe was beckoning warmly at Cordy and sliding plate after plate of food toward Cordy. ’You look so skinny. Eat some more."

Staring at the mountainous pile of food, Cordy joked, "Are you that worried I won't eat normally if I get arrested again?"

It was clearly a joke, but Zoe’s eyes went red after she heard it, probably because she really believed that Cordy was really going to prison.

"Don't say something like that. John will definitely save you no matter what it takes-"

"Stop. Don't mention him again," Cordy said, cutting Zoe short.

She did not give any explanation either.
